How you spell quiche?
Well you don't spell it son, you eat it!
~from the movie Sixteen Candles
Quiche Lorraine is a classic French recipe, from the Lorraine area of France. It has become popular throughout France and the world. There are many variations on the basic idea. Tonight, we had two.
The Recipe
Quiche

2 deep dish pie crusts (I use frozen)

4 oz shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp ground mustard
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Splash of worcestershire sauce
Salt & pepper to taste
8 slices cooked bacon, crushed into small bits
1 large sliced tomato
1/2 tsp basil
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400
Bake frozen pie crusts for 12-14 minutes, until light brown
Reduce oven temp to 350
Whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, mustard, worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper in large mixing bowl
Stir in cheese, and bacon
Add half of mixture to one pie crust
Put the sliced tomatoes in a layer on the bottom of the other pie crust and sprinkle with the basil
Pour the remaining mixture on top
Place both quiches on a large cookie sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes
Serve with:
Salad of fresh greens
Ratings:

We should create a recipe for quiche. We can incorporate some small noodles in the shapes of letters. Just like the kind you see in Alphabet Soup. And we can put them on top of the quiche and call it “How Do You Spell, Quiche”.
